Solid Growth Potential by Adding Clients and Services
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a well-established ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited analytical laboratory. Operating for over two decades, the company provides microbiological and chemical testing services across dietary supplements, food, water, hemp, and related consumer products.

The laboratory maintains certifications and licenses from state and federal regulatory agencies, including ISO accreditation and DEA authorizations, enabling it to perform highly regulated analytical testing under strict quality systems.

The Lab has excellent technical staff, including the Lab Manager, so the lab runs without requiring day-to-day attention.

Financial Overview
----------------------------
- 2025 Revenue: ~$728K; EBITDA: ~$232K (31.8% margin)
- 2026 Projected Revenue: ~$1.0M; Projected EBITDA: ~$350K (35% margin) (2026 growth from additional work coming from a long-term client)
- Gross Margins consistently above 86%

Despite recent market disruptions affecting certain channels, the laboratory maintained strong profitability and is positioned for revenue recovery driven by secured client commitments and underutilized capacity

Services & Capabilities
---------------------------------
Core services include:

- Heavy metals analysis (ICP-MS / ICP-OES)
- Microbiology testing (including rapid methods)
- Vitamin and nutrient analysis (HPLC)
- Pesticide and residual solvent screening (GC-MS / Headspace)
- Mineral profiling
- Identity and chemistry testing

The facility includes multiple HPLC systems, GC/MS units, ICP instruments, FTIR, PCR capability, and a recently added ion chromatography system. Over $1.5M has been invested in infrastructure and instrumentation.

Competitive Positioning
-----------------------------------
- Minimal regional competition in core testing categories
- Rapid turnaround times (often 3–5 days)
- Long-standing referral-driven client base
- Strong gross margins due to optimized cost structure
- Significant excess capacity without major capital expenditure required

The Laboratory operates from an approximately 5,200 sq. ft., fully owned facility. Real estate is included in a related transaction, providing buyers with both operational control and asset ownership.

Growth Opportunities
--------------------------------
- Expansion into STEC/E. coli testing for meat processors
- Environmental testing expansion
- Cannabis compliance testing (subject to regulatory staffing requirements)
- Throughput expansion via additional chemist hires
- Structured marketing and digital outreach initiatives

This opportunity is well-suited for:
---------------------------------------------------
- Strategic buyers in dietary supplement, food, environmental, or contract analytical testing
- Regional labs seeking ISO-accredited footprint expansion
- Private equity groups pursuing high-margin laboratory platforms
- Industry operators seeking owned real estate plus operational scale

The sellers are seeking $1.5M plus inventory, with transition support available for 6–8 months to ensure continuity. The building is also available for sale through a separate company owned by the sellers, and they would like to sell it concurrently.
